Relocation

Relocation cases are among the most sensitive and highly contested matters in Washington family law. Whether you are seeking to relocate with your child or objecting to a proposed move, these cases are governed by strict statutory factors and procedural timelines under Washington’s relocation statute. The court must carefully balance stability, continuity, and the child’s best interests while weighing the impact on the parent-child relationship. We provide strategic advocacy at every stage — from notice and objection through negotiation or trial — ensuring your parental rights and your child’s long-term well-being are protected.

Child Support Adjustment and Modification

Child support orders are not static. When there has been a substantial change in income, employment, health, or other financial circumstances, a parent may be entitled to an adjustment or modification. Whether you are seeking to increase, decrease, or enforce support, we conduct thorough financial analysis, review income sources (including business or investment income), and apply the Washington Child Support Schedule accurately and strategically. Our approach focuses on presenting clear, well-supported evidence to ensure support orders are fair, legally sound, and reflective of current realities.

Committed Intimate Relationship (CIR)

Washington law recognizes that long-term, marriage-like relationships may create legal property rights even without a formal marriage. In Committed Intimate Relationship (CIR) cases, courts evaluate factors such as cohabitation, intent, pooling of resources, and the duration of the relationship to determine whether property should be equitably distributed. These cases often involve complex tracing and financial analysis, particularly when significant assets are at issue. We provide detailed, strategic representation to protect your financial interests and ensure a fair and equitable outcome.

Enforcement

When a court order is not being followed — whether related to child support, spousal maintenance, parenting plans, or property division — enforcement may be necessary. Washington courts have broad authority to compel compliance, award attorney’s fees, and impose remedial sanctions where appropriate. We act decisively to enforce your rights while pursuing practical solutions that minimize further conflict. Whether through contempt proceedings, clarification motions, or collection efforts, we work to ensure court orders are respected and upheld.
